Imagine finding out that the ensuite you’ve always dreamed about is going to be replaced by a bathroom down the hall and the feature pond that you were planning to put in the backyard is looking like it’s going to be more of a puddle.
Whether the expenses are planned, like how after the past three incredibly hot Australian summers with rickety old fan that you’re pretty sure doesn’t actually work anymore, you’re ready to make the jump and buy a fancy new air conditioning system that promises to turn your house into the arctic.
Or how after a year of their non-stop begging, you’ve finally promised the kids that they can redecorate their rooms (because apparently butterfly bedspreads are so uncool now).
Other times the costs of being a homeowner may occur in slightly more unexpected ways like when the pipe under your sink bursts, turning your kitchen into a small oasis and you’re in desperate need of a plumber (and a new sink) at the last minute.
You may even be thinking about taking that exciting next step and doing a complete house renovation, meaning you need to consider the costs of hiring service providers like electricians or carpenters as part of a long-term contract.
Or perhaps after months of deliberation about how you could improve your environmental footprint, you’ve decided you want to install solar panels in the roof.
Fortunately, here at humm we don’t believe that financial stress should be able to ruin the excitement of owning a home.
With the option of shopping the Little Things and the Big Things, humm has you covered, whether it’s for the unexpected purchases, from a new sink to a new roof, or the upstairs renovation that you’ve been planning for months.
You can spread the costs of your purchases over an agreed period of time, meaning that you can buy what you need right now and pay back the balance in slices, totally interest free.
